I have contacted the Vancouver Milk Bank and they are interested in me becoming a milk donor. I will become one if I pass the health requirement (I don't see why not) and figure out the physical logistics of getting my milk to them (I'm 3 hours from Vancouver). I guess I would like to know more...

I am just trying to find time to lurk and join in here. Some here from MKP may recognize me. :) My name is Jill, and I am 34 weeks pregnant with my first (a girl). I have decided to breastfeed, and haven't yet been able to take a bf class but am going to very soon-- I am due in May! (I'm in North...

DS is a few days old and my milk has come in. Both breasts are soon engorged after each feeding and leak more often than not (usual triggers: baby feeding at other breast, baby crying, looking at baby, etc.). DS was 1 oz over his birth weight at day 4, so he is feeding well. And he is voracious....

Hi; I am thinking of buy this pump. Single Deluxe Battery/Electric Breast Pump By Medela Price: $79.99 Does anyone have thoughts on it?

can nursing screw up your cycles? I have no other signs of pregnancy, but two weeks ago, and then again last night, I had some spotting. I haven't had a period since January... Any idea if this is just from nursing? I have a physical (yuck) on the fifteenth... I'll ask my doc then.

My pediatrician requested that I introduce a bottle to my DD when she was 3 weeks old (she's now nearly 6 weeks old).* We had no problems with nipple confusion, and she continues to nurse like a little champ (although the first week was tough) while my DH gives her a bottle every night.* I...

Tomorrow, bright and early (well, not so bright - the sun won't even be up yet) I'm heading for Virginia, to an intensive feeding program for my daughter Victoria. Some of you know the struggles we've gone through with her, and the triumphs she's had. Well, she's ready to EAT finally, and maybe get...

Thanks for the advice about the decreasing milk supply. It turned out to be a temporary reaction to severe dehydration, and has come back just fine once I started making sure I got enough water at all times. Naomi

I'm afraid I love my underwires - got to give some shape to my droopy breasts! But it has been so long since I wore one, and my nursing bras are too big now (I just hope my pre-breastfeeding bras are not too big - they were pretty tiny to begin to with!). I am paranoid about wearing an underwire...

My milk is going, if not already gone! I've been drinking Mother's Milk tea and nursing or pumping as much of the time as possible lately to try and stimulate more of it, but it's been slowly dwindling anyway and I don't know if it can be saved. I suspect dehydration and semistarvation as the...

As you may be aware, DD (nearly 15 months) weaned abruptly 2 weeks ago. And guess what came today - AF. So I think the weaning may have been a combination of illness, and yucky milk. I was secretly hoping I was pregnant, as I had tender breasts (which I put down to slight engorgement) and...

So, it seems Morgan isn't sucking as hard as she was prior to the pacifier being introduced. What can I do specifically to get her to suck harder? ~Carol Ann Morgan 3.24.04

My daughter is almost 18 months old, and nurses pretty frequently throughout the day but sleeps all night. I no longer wake up full, and in fact the other day went from 4pm one day to 8am the next day with no nursing, and I didn't feel full in the morning(that wasn't intentional, I was on the phone...

Hi everyone, I used a pump fairly often with my oldest as I was working part time and did a lot of evening meetings and stuff. But when my second was small I quit my job and a few months later I dusted off my pump and donated it to Goodwill. I don't need to pump anymore and I don't miss it! But...
